Manufacture

Since it's so difficult to find a decent-looking classic police box in 00-scale, we had to resort to making our own. This is a downloaded model, edited and improved using the free Blender software, further edited to be 3D-printable, and then 3D printed in clear plastic resin and painted the correct Prussian Blue, with the "Police Box" sign picked out in white with black lettering.

Since the material is clear/transparent, and the Prussian blue is so good at blocking light, we have the option of adding lighting (for the windows and the top light) at a later date. Template:SciFi
